At some point during your medical treatment you may have to take some medicines. The food we eat can effect how the medicines work. Also, the medicines we take can effect how our bodies use the food we eat.
There are new and different medicines for HIV and AIDS being tried every day. This book cannot tell you all that you need to know about food and drugs. It is important that you ask your doctor about each medicine you are taking to see if there are any foods you cannot eat with them. Compare that information with the advice in this book. If there are differences, talk to your doctor about them.
It is also important to know that many of the physical symptoms associated with HIV can be made better or made worse by the foods you eat. The right foods to eat for one problem may be exactly the wrong foods to eat for another. If you have more than one problem, it can be difficult to know what to eat. Always try to ask your doctor for advice on what is best for your condition.
